TAKE time to gaze a sunset sky
Where colours blaze to dazzle the eye.
Take time to watch a moonlight sea
And look in awe at a towering tree.
Take time to look in the heat of the flower
Adorned with diamonds
from a gentle shower.
Take time to view a mountain high
With snowy peak 'gainst bluest sky.
Take time to listen to the song of birds-
A paean of you without need of words.
Take time to tell you closest friend
Your love and loyalty will never end.
Take time to stop and stand and stare
At wonders round you everywhere.
Take time to make time ---
For all too soon there is no more time.


(C. S., Taupo)
